milted Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I visited Norton Aerodrome to see Sir Alan Cobham and his flying circus,and the "flying flees" Small planes with moter cycle engines I don't remember any houses on the road up to Coalaston apart from a farm on the first bend I believe it was called Dyche lane then That was about 1936 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I've just been looking again at the site I suggested and noticed a picture of an old air raid shelter and it's bugging me. I thought I knew the area reasonably well but can't think where that shelter is unless it's in the driving centtre land. I wondered if anyone knew for certain. It's also interesting to see a picture of my mother's old house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don71 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 The Air Raid shelter is at the south end of the aerodrome site between the football pitches and the circular road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
